bhyve Does pcipassthrough care if graphic drivers are installed ?

[Bozhinov]

Hello,

Do I need to install the graphic drivers for the host OS video adapter to run a Windows machine with pcipassthrough ?
General question so consider both integrated graphics like Ryzen 8500G (or recent Intel® UHD Graphics) and HP 2U servers with Matrox G200

Thanks
Momchil

The host can't use the device, it has to be excluded for pass-through to even work.

It's the oposite. You need to ensure the hardware you passthru is held by no driver (in fact a fake one named ppt): https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/pci_passthru
